They wanted to talk to me in person because they probably didn't feel comfortable asking over the e-mail (or maybe didn't have electronic copies of the forms).

I don't love the idea of tying up all my liquidity in an expensive SFH, but the Bay Area is a fairly high appreciation area. 

You can wait for an expert like Dave F or Bill E to chime in but I BELIEVE both will result in the same capital gains tax on $100k.

A little background to myself:- I am in my last year of school- I am an Apprentice Plumber (Commercial)- I work on some things to do with E-Commerce and Stocks/Crypto- I love playing sports and going to the gymMy main goal for my life is to have financial freedom as we most do but for me travelling and experiencing the wonders this world has to offer really drives me.

Capture the liquidity/equity of the asset, buy another property with it, and keep the original property.

(More income gets taxes and at a higher rate) Just because your tax went up doesn't mean your CPA did anything wrong.As a CPA myself, my least favorite part of the job it going through the details of showing people why thier taxes are going up and are going to keep going up but I always do it.

Favorite amongst tenants.

If you sell the property be mindful that there are actual costs to sell since the asset is not liquid.
